helicopter crash

[libby lou lou]

I wonder if they had the same feeling as a bird being shot from the the sky, just for sport?

why? what happened?

Perhaps trying to keep visual with the ground in poor weather, and did not see the rapidly rising Mourne mountains. How the other half live, and die.

Not many people walk away from helicopter crashes, they are most unforgiving.

Sad, but it's the price payed for playing with rich boy's toys.

I think thats a harsh statement, as some people lost their life? Surely breeding birds to shoot, and culling humans is a diferent sport?

it's not like a plane where if the engines fail you can at least somewhat "glide" down..
you only get one shot at saving your butt in a helicopter and it relies entirely on "auto-rotation".. ( see "little nell" in the bond movie for an example.. )

I flew Sea King Search and Rescue for 25 years, and never had more than minor problems, a friend was in three serious crashes and decided to leave early.
When it goes wrong there are some big forces to hurt you, but there are techniques to mitigate them, even the dreaded tail rotor failure. This seems to be an unexpected lump of Cumulo granitus, nav pigs.
